The Colorado shootings are looking more and more premeditated. A notebook from alleged Aurora shooter James Holmer was sent to a Colorado psychiatrist, detailing his plan of attack in the movie theatre. It wasn’t found until three days after the murders.

From The Globe and Mail:

James Holmes, 24, an honours student who was in the process of dropping out from the university’s elite doctoral program in neuroscience, reportedly mailed the notebook to a professor, who is also a psychiatrist who treated patients at the medical school’s outpatient clinic.

The notebook allegedly has details on how the shooting was going to happen, complete with stick figures being gunned down.

It’s still unclear whether the psychiatrist had treated Holmes before.
